Teyit

Teyit fact-checks information and news on social media and the internet.

It is one of the rare examples within Turkey's independent media ecosystem to achieve a sustainable business model. The media outlet has a diversified source of revenues, including partnerships with Meta and TikTok, grants from philanthropy, and a stable audience that supports it through Patreon.

Teyit aims to be transparent about its finances, methodology, and editorial policy, whose information is published and updated on the website.

It is also an example of collaborative journalism and international cooperation, as a member of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN).

The content expands from the website to many social media accounts with considerable outreach and engagement through a strong focus on conversation. Furthermore, the founders value social impact, so the organisation offers education programmes to increase digital media literacy in the wider public.
